March is just around the corner, and Las Vegas is already gearing up for the city’s busiest, most event-packed month with a diverse array of music and more in the weekend ahead. Here’s a look at our weekend best bets.

The "Wheel of Death" in "Zarkana" is, as its name indicates, one of Cirque du Soleil’s riskier acts. The injuries do not seem serious, and Cirque says “Wheel of Death” is to return to the show upon the artist’s return.

An outsider might conclude there's a lot of partying going on in an employees-only floor at the Bellagio. There's no bar in sight but still the place smells like booze. Inch closer to a pair of double doors across the hall from the resort’s carpentry office, and the alcoholic aroma grows stronger. Peek through a pair of windows and you find the source.

Miami Heat MVP LeBron James will be at Tao in The Venetian to celebrate the team’s repeat NBA championship, over the San Antonio Spurs, and there are as many DJs back on the Strip as were here for 2013 Electric Daisy Carnival weekend.
